TL;DR: This week on the podcast, the conversation with Phil Beyer goes all over the map. We start with the interesting (but short) story of how Phil got into cyber, to vCISO vs CISO, and how we really feel about the CISOs opportunity to "win". Short answer - there isn't a win here. It's a very fast-paced episode you'll want to listen at normal speed because, frankly, it's too fast otherwise!

TL;DR: *Warning: This episode is ranty, and potentially offensive to overly sensitive types*. That said, in this episode Jim Tiller and I sit down, drink in hand, and have a good old rant about the state of the industry right now. We talk through the "people problem", and the tech problem, and lay plenty of blame. At some point, I think we even suggested a solution. Maybe. Enjoy!

TL;DR: On this first episode of 2024, what better way to ring in the new year than to discuss the evolution of (knowledge) work? For this show, my friend Bill Pelletier joins as the Statler to my Waldorf as we discuss where knowledge work was a decade ago, where it is today (post-Covid), and what it could be if we thread the needle just right. In the end, one thing is for certain - the "future work experts" are not very smart, or they'd understand single-factor statements are stupid.
